NIN Theory

[kazuri]

NIN/SAM + Kikoku + Kraken Club + Max Merit in STR, Katana, Subtle Blow, 3 merits in Store TP = 1000-1500 to Aura Statues every 30~ sec.

Good DD? I think so...

[Pounce]

Anything with a Kraken club is a good DD =P

I've seen a BRD dish out great damage with KK

Store TP merits wouldn't affect NIN main, only SAM main. I've tested this out with merited Berserk. The timer was not reduced as a subjob, only on WAR main.

i dont think we're trying to find out whats wrong with it, or im not atleast. i just want to know why cant we get a little more support at what we are naturally good at.

lots of other jobs get passive traits or /ja for things they are naturally good at. nin doesnt really get anything for throwing, let alone the crappiness in crafting/obtaining shurikens.

and again, it all comes down to balance. tanking has taken precedence so thats where are job takes us now.

A PLD/NIN can be one of the best damage dealers in the game, this is the truth.[/B]

I heard that on one of the servers (not Ragnarok) that one LS uses PLD/THF completely decked out in ATTK gear (Dusk+Hecatomb) against the CoP wyrms doing very very good Spinning Slashes... :sweat:

Doh... are you serious? Wonder why the dude stated Store TP Merits then. This relieves me greatly, however... I won't have to take WAR/SAM to 75 just for DA+%, Meditate- and stuff... thanks '-'/

ps: Be a freak and you can get lv max Relic Weapon~~

Actually NIN have only slightly above average marksmanship and below average archery, excelling in throwing though. So obviously RNG is out. ^^

this is relative, look at everyone else's marks cap, then look at nin and rangers.

nin are next in line after rng, and thfs after them..
so it might not be close to even with a ranger, but its literaly the next best option for a gun user (being a nin i mean)

lol @ nin gun and ammo selection.


I think people should start getting their shuriken crafted, im going to level throwing to max so i can toss manji religously or whenver my timers are down, i'd expect that to be the reason nin has disposable items and like... 1 ability. We all see different things about nin but we also see gimped alternates like nin/thf having no real asset and how thf/nin >>> nin/thf. same goes with nin/rng/ nin/blm and nin/rdm for example, the main job will do alot more damage or have far better use if you switch the combos around. I for one like keeping a mob whiffing :D they then know how it feels to be a DD.

you say that now but unless someone can hq manji shurkien for you, another expense to your already large ninjutsu tool expense isnt really that worth it. considering im spending around 150k a lvl, spending more on some shurikens, imo just isnt worth it that much. holding hate is a lot easier once you get past 65. *shrug*

I think nin along with rdm was built for solo, seeing as how both jobs can tank T-Vt mobs quite easily depending on the mob, the AF properties of nightime are built to give ninja a huge advantage in the tanking role maybe to lower cost of ninja tools, and to help kite mobs, etc etc; as for gear I believe a nice mix of evasion, haste, and accuracy with some enmity really makes ninja one of the best end game jobs out there, as well as a really good tank, IMO Nin/Drk or Nin/Blm best solo youll find, even over rdm. Gear wise well heres how i am setup, head=Optical hat, Neck-Evasion torque, Body-Scorpian harness, hands-ratsetsu tekko (until Seiryus Kotes), Legs-Arhats Hakama+1(until Byakko haidate), Feet-Ninja Kyhan(until Fuma Sune-ate), Waist-Life belt, warwolf belt(speed belt), Rings-Snipers(bloodbead, bomb queen for HNM), Earrings-Elusive Earrings(Suppopanimi) oh and to cut cost on other stuff (Unger Boomerang). thats just my opinion on gear. but what I really hate to see is a Ninja tank with an Earth staff, like duh your not supposed to get hit so why -def gear LOLZ.
